Osaka is the heart of Japanese food culture. Discover local street food, explore a lively fish market. You can shop for souvenirs in a district lined with professional knives and tableware.
Known as “Osaka’s Kitchen,” this lively market is full of fresh seafood, wagyu beef, fruits, sushi, and more. Visitors can enjoy trying local foods on the spot and experience Osaka’s unique food culture. Watching skilled vendors prepare their products up close is also part of the fun.
Kitchen tools used by professionals
Hozenji Temple A small, atmospheric temple hidden in the middle of the city. Its moss-covered statue of Fudo Myo-o is famous—visitors often splash water on it while making a wish. The peaceful atmosphere offers a surprising contrast to the busy streets of Namba. Hozenji Yokocho Alley A narrow stone-paved alley lined with traditional restaurants and bars. Walking through it feels like stepping back in time. It’s a great place to soak in the nostalgic, old-town charm of Osaka, and maybe even try some local dishes at a hidden gem eatery.
